Raw or Roasted?

Hello,

I have decided to give up coffee, and instead use herbal teas, especially for their health effects.

My question: Is raw better than roasted herbs? In particular, dandelion, milk thistle, and chicory.

Does roasting destroy active agents in the herbs? What about raw vs roasting with respect to making tea?

You quested it... Heat will destroy the natural nutritional and therapeutic values. Raw herbs are best when possible, better yet try dried herbs. You can contact me at ramon@sustenanceofnature.com
